GONE THE GRIM BRIGADE

A-weary, once, l sought the greenwood
shade;
My cares came trooping after,
Vainly ordered back the grim brigade
They came-with mocking laughing.
But when we reached the place, from al
about
Rose whisperings and Gliding:
The little birds sang, sQuicki You cares
Out, out.
Here Is no place for hiding. ~
The grasses, Strengthening up, gave them
throw:
A win i-puf blew them higher;
Tree branches sent them tossing to and
fro;
Brooks dashed some in the mire
They found no peace. Some, running,
broke their heads
'Gainst giant bouldcrs pelting;
Some smothered were in wild flowers,
dewy beds
In flight from sunbeams, melting.
'sThere now" cried, when Of this wor-
rying crew
No vestige could find;
s'See what the wildwood has in store
for you'll
The next tim stay behind!"
From the German Of Gustave Parrine.

Forgot Himself.

There was once . Judge noted for tho
mildness Of his manners and the gentle
meas Of his reproofs to the lawyers, who
sometimes addressed each other in lam
guage which could not be passed by
without notice from tho court.
One day two lawyers who were plead
ing case passed beyond tho stage Of
bantering, and began to call each other
names One Of them said:
"The attorney on the otherside ID,
may it please your Honor, not only tho
ugliest but the stupidest lawyer In the
country"
"Yoa forgot yourself, Mr.. Smith
you forgot yoursclf'' said the Judge,
rapping gently with his gavsl. youths

Fools the Tools Of Tyrants.

The most dangerous man in society
Is the ignorant man. He il generally
wise in his own estimation, and al
ways tool for the designing; will
vote himself into slavery to crafty
some prejudice that some one has put
into his head, or just to please the
man he is working for. And Of all
the dangerous men in this country
the politically ignorant are the most
70. They.will fight their best friends,
and abuse those who are honestly and
intelligently working for their best
interests; and II they succeed in In
Juring::one, either pecuniary, morally
or politically, they gloat over it, and
brag about it to their own disgrace.
These men are not confined to the
men who dig bitches; they are found
in society that ought to be ashamed
Of them. They are excused many
times because the pressure Of business
takes all their tiiMe, and they have
none left to attend to the most sacred
trust man ever had-the transmission
q the best possible form Of govern
ment to his children. (Ia.

1t Is suggested that the decision
given by Justice Field In the Stanford
case, refusing to compel the latter to
answer questions propounded by the
Pacific investigating commission will,
II affirmed, practically annul one Of
the most important provisions Of the
Interstate commerce bill. The twelfth
section Of that law provides that the
commission may inquire into the
business Of common carriers and to
require the production Of books and
the attendance OF witnesses. That
the commission may call upon the
United States courts to force compli-
ance with those provisions. II the
United States courts refuse to grant
the prayer Of the Pacific, il it not
reasonable to suppose that it will
treat the application Of the inter
state commission In the same man
nery This would make Of the com
mission . farce.-South West.
